![]() Gemini Research recommends that the northwestern boundary of the Lac qui Parle Flood Control Project Historic District be drawn on the eastern side of the TH 75 highway right-of-way. The upper mile near the town of Odessa was altered when the TH 75 Causeway was widened in 1955 (with associated bridge changes) and when an adjacent dam and reservoir were built in 1974. Only one part of the state’s original acquisition area has been excluded from the boundaries. This is comprised primarily of the Minnesota River channel between Lac qui Parle Dam and the northern edge of Granite Falls, segments of roads and railroads, miscellaneous parcels of land acquired by the state by 1941, and a few parcels like the Volden Gravel Pit that were associated with the project but not owned by the state. The district is comprised primarily of the State of Minnesota’s original land acquisition for the flood control project (about 22,800 acres) plus about 2,500 additional acres historically associated with the project. The boundary is shown by the hatched gray line on Map 2 of this report. The recommended boundary of the historic district encompasses about 25,000 acres and is about 61.5 miles long. Gemini Research recommends that all but the northwestern one mile of the project retains historic physical integrity and is eligible for the National Register as the Lac qui Parle Flood Control Project Historic District. ![]() It extended along the Minnesota River for about 62.5 miles, and also included a 6-mile diversion of the nearby Chippewa River.
